Pages

Hey everyone! So, yesterday I posted on my FB page that I was
going to be sharing songs from an A Stiff Kiss Playlist. And that technically A
Stiff Kiss doesn’t have one, but that it’s my goal to change that.

So, first up, and I know I’ve already shared it around but
whatever, Xylia Morana’s theme song is...

Now, those of you who know the song and have read the book
are probably smiling and nodding, thinking that it’s a great song for Xylia.

Why yes, if I do say so myself. It is a great song, but let
me expand a little.

Straight up, Xylia Morana doesn’t care about her reputation.
But it’s not simply because she’s rebelling for the sake of it. And I think, or
rather hope—that comes across in the novel. She’s not just this teenager who
doesn’t care what people think and is only out to gain things for herself.

She has a reason. Actually, she has many reasons for being
the way she is. Not all of them are the simple facts of teenage angst, but
rather things that go deeper than that. She spends the course of the novel
being who she is, standing up for what she believes—even if it gives her that
bad girl persona—and she grows.

Wow, does she ever grow over the course of the novel. I
think by the end she’s learned just as much about herself as she ended up
learning about the other characters in the novel.

I wish I could give you more, but for fear of giving away
spoilers, I think I leave this here. And stay tuned, I’ll be adding more songs
to the A Stiff Kiss Playlist.
